Been following your work and your old man’s for years. Binge watching these videos Gareth just simply wonderful mate! 😉

Ffs he’s no even fae kirky 😂

He’s talking shite, that’s not orange sandstone wtf🤦🏼‍♂️ we daft kirky heed 😂

Laaa ooo nnn dé, is probably more like how it’s pronounced

Ahhh the yews get everywhere 🌟

Thanks Gareth, so happy to see you out and about exploring natural areas. Hopefully it inspires others to unplug from the internet and reconnect themselves with the real world. Pure awesomeness 🙂

Keep up the amazing work...love your very informative videos. Capturing our historical past 😊😊😊😊

A quick search on KZbin shows how a Hofman Kiln works. Fascinating 🎉 Loved this one 👍

Another great video. .as a Lestonian, I grew up with your dad on TV. Wish him well for me 😊😊😊😊

Just seen this Gaz You've made my Saturday afternoon . Whitwick is pronounced Whitick around here me Duck! LOL

Thanks for a great video.I have learned a lot. I'm from these parts, my father used to work in the NCB offices at New Hucknall

Wilford suspension bridge stood in for a Russian or East German bridge in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy in the 1980’s(?)

Fantastic structure, the drone footage looks beautiful, and Phil's idea of a go-karting attraction is a great shout!

Nice to see you waving those pedo colors on your hoodie. Definitely not agents in place...

Fascinating!! Should be preserved. Coal & Clay. Hard work making bricks.

I was watching a second time an was wondering if some of them bricks you where walking on, where from a felled Chimney Fred Dibnah Styley? can’t quite work out the trajectory from where I’m sitting! but especially if a raised line an semi broken as it shatters the mortar off, as it’s coming down. there’s a bit of chat about illuminus lakes, did any of the locals start glowing?! Around these parts there was an American airbase an rumour had it that after the war stuff got dumped in a bog, then just a dozen years ago some environmentalists reclaimed the bog an weird stuff started to occur, animals an dogs froffing at the mouth etc it’s a worthy note to take care at old industrial locations. Cheers

Wow, such brilliant content. My local area too. Thanks for making and sharing, enjoyed it.

Lovin these local hidden industrial gems. Keep em coming 👍

The great outdoors ! They could make it into a working museum , to show how bricks were made ! Keep em coming !

Nice haircut, Gareth. Lookin’ good, Phil. ✏️ Phil and Gareth, Gareth and Phil, ambling through the woods, kilns they saw of bricks they saw and then saw whatever they would. 🧱

Hayup Gareth that’s a good looking building, the place looks kinda mysterious, I’m liking the go kart track or semi underground roller disco those alcoves could be for vending outlets or even a gig venue sort of derby,s answer to the cavern club, we really need Alec Clifton Taylor or Professor Robert William Baker they’d know how the Kilns worked it’s a tad unusual the one at downtown was like a farm out house that just happened to have a big brick kiln in it, an it wasn’t that close to the railway line a few hundred yards so who knows how they got coal down to fire it, a short lorry journey I guess, them dark bricks had cinder in them for wells and mine shafts, still going strong 200 years later, I use to work with Bobby much of the kilns where in the Black Country he studied an then asked the old boys what was what according to their ancestral training an traditional understanding an he himself became an authority because he wrote it down and practiced it. I hope someone local who worked there gets in touch to explain the Hoffman workings. Great little film as ever you an Phil are tops! Cheers

Stanton used it to dump there waste

Spent my youth down brickyard we had rope swing in woods next door fires jacket spuds underground dens huge bonfires and cycle tracks you missed green lake toxic and the white lime pits

Nice one...

Came here last year, amazing place mate

just shove a sock on it mate! the mic I mean lol 😅

Where you was walking up to derby road, next to the posh houses, there’s a piece of land where an old railway house used to to be, which got knocked down a few years ago. This used to belong to Erewash borough council, who sold their housing stock to Erewash housing in 2002 but the railway house never transferred over? ?

Another fantastic video 🙂

This episode reminds me of my friend Robert and I hiking around the Mojave desert looking for fossils of ice age animals and sea creatures, while occasionally running into old homestead, mining or rail ruins. So you guys are actually hunting fossils as well, just more recent.

Awesome video as always hope you both well phills spot on those tunnels make awesome go kart course reminded me of fun kart Grand Prix in funhouse with Pat sharp and the twins Melanie and martina awesome video ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Very interesting, and I love those old maps.

Looking forward to have time to watch 🙏

The bridges would've had to be wider back before Gunthorpe Weir was constructed, at least to accommodate the tidal bore perhaps?

Spenny bridge 20 of us used to jump up and down when leaving school that bridge can bounce!

That`s really rather wonderful - what a lovely vid :)

Love these videos Gareth. Absolutely fascinating. The area I live is pretty much the same, I grew up in a old mining village and most of the stuff you see on your walks I take for granted, the bridges, the cuttings, the embankments, it's always just been part of the scenery! The 14 year olds down the mine is pretty poignant. My dad worked down the mine when he left school, at 14, but luckily, he hated it and managed to find a job in a factory, still a hard life, but at least a life.

Brilliant little video Gaz. That is proper tangible history right there!

Love it. I grew up around there & am familiar with the bridge on the roundabout, never knew it was the original!

Hayup Gareth how far is the roundabout remains from the river Trent now? where Andy is standing and then Phil is that those angular outcrops to allow the water to cut past the bridges arch supports. I’m surprised someone’s not dug it out an made it in to an underground gig venue, there’d be little noise concerns, or an unusual hotel, dig an underpass to it.itd be all the go! We’d have some fun if we where in charge of planning think of all the great stuff you an Phil an Andy etc would resurrect, they’d be no shortage of trains, bridges an viaducts all restored gigs galore sandwiches bars an tea rooms et all. Cheers

Its not a roundabout,just a busy road junction.

I like your videos and i like the bookes from your father.

Hello everyone.Greeting from switzerland.

Hello Gareth really good video of Trent Bridge really interesting history and I love Trent Bridge Cricket Ground some really good test matches on that Ground take care peace and love xx

Awesome video I never realised that bridge there 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi Gaz, I visited this cave at the weekend but didn’t venture too far in as I was alone. I did have my relatively small torch with me which was ok but wondered what torch you carry for this kind of explore. I’m keen to go again. Thanks

Hayup Gareth great bridges, the first photo of Trent bridge in 1871 it looks a little bit weathered there’s staining under the arches, ( maybe it’s a hundred or so years older?) that beautiful older bridge they took down with road level water shoots fabulous photos. There’s seams to have been a lot of land level changes from looking at the arches, of old photos an the tother bridges, either mud flood or silt flow from very high rivers, the bridge with the reservoir pipes that photo they appear to be digging out the silt from on top of the pipes? shame about the railway bridge but that’s not unusual if feels like a crusade against our infrastructure. I wonder what the local divers see and have found under those Nottingham bridges. in Fordingbridge the bridge is built on top of what is presumed to be foundations of a Roman bridge, it’s quite common to have later bridges built atop of Saxon bridges, are we allowed to say Saxon?! Loved that 900 odd year old bridge! How much to cross the toll bridge with a smart ass? Cheers

I've only ever driven the ring road, so fascinating. The roundabout bridge was the pinnacle for me, the brickwork really stood out, the toll sign was good too. Looking forward to visiting Nottingham in October to your dad.

That was a great ride there. The fares sign at the end and the remnant of the bridge in the roundabout were the best.

Your Camera is like your hat "Arse about face"!

I love these vids!....makes me want to visit Britain again
